Yellow can be a bright cheerful color, especially after a drab winter. I didn’t head out to shoot yellow, or any other color, today. It’s still raining for the second day and I really didn’t feel like walking around and getting soaking wet so I tried to find subjects from my car. I took a shot of reflections while waiting…

365-68 Wet, rusty, and worn
If there’s anything there is no shortage of around here, it’s wet and rusty stuff. Rust because of all the industrial areas that at one time provided the economy in my town but now are closed and left to ruin. Wet because winter is ending, the snow is melting and it rains every other day now. Really pretty. 😉 So, just like all of my snow…
365-67 Made in the USA
I don’t often shoot the US flag specifically, but I was at an outlet center and saw this large flag they have on site backlit by the sun. It was one of those huge flags you often see at such places. I thought I would try a couple shots of it. I had my ISO set at 400 because I wanted…
365-66 At days end, I found something
Okay, it was dark already and I still hadn’t taken a picture for the day. While doing other things today, I just didn’t see any shots to take. Granted, I wasn’t looking too hard, so that may have been a factor. So, while I was at a shopping plaza in the evening, I spotted this cart against a post along…
365-65 Movin’ on
Number 65!! Only 300 more to go! 300?!! Yikes. Sticking around the house again today, which makes it tough to find photo subjects. I hope to get out and about more as the weather improves. I’m still layed off from my “normal” job, so I have plenty of time but no money. ;-( With gas prices rising, I have to…
New theme
I was having display problems with my blogs last theme so I decided to change it. I liked the look of “Spectrum”, the last theme but it just wasn’t working for me. I like the layout of this theme, “Koi”, but not real thrilled with the illustrations. It looks a little feminine, but if it works for me that’s all…
365-64 Wet stuff
Another rainy day. I don’t mind it though. A couple of days of rain followed by some sun and things start getting a little brighter and colorful and, hopefully, a little cleaner and all traces of winter are gone. Rainy days do present some nice photo opportunities, IF you are somewhere where such opportunities exist. I would liked to have taken…
365-63 Guitars and photography
I started this blog hoping I would talk about photography and guitars, the two things I enjoy. Well, the photography part has become a little overwhelming, mostly because of my 365 shots. I would like to write about guitars more and hopefully I’ll be able to get back on that track. I’m just not that good of a writer, so…
365-62 Same place, different day
I’m in a bit of a creative funk right now. Both artistically and technically. I’m just not finding shots that work and the few that I thought I would like suffered from bad technical skills. Mostly just too blurry from either camera shake or bad focusing. Some shots look good on the LCD but when I load them onto the…
365-60 Altered reality on a small scale
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” – Camille Pissarro My shot for today is not an abstract macro flower shot, though that’s what it appears to be. It’s a glass of iced green tea with a lime. I shot with my reverse-mounted Super-Takumar 50mm. Light from the window backlit the tea and…
